The mastermind behind the food is chef Rob Masone. The concept was birthed from Twisted Eats, the food truck that was previously parked outside Wooden Robot.

Honestly, I didn’t expect the food to be so delicious. Kre8 Gastropub is a huge win for Wooden Robot and South End in general.

Additionally, the food is beautifully plated — a smart, strategic move to provide perfect material for the Instagram and Snapchat users. Call me crazy, but it’s hard to not take a photo of Kre8 Gastropub’s food.

One thing I didn’t realize is that you can actually sit anywhere within Wooden Robot.

There is a hostess station at the main Wooden Robot entrance where you can grab a menu and/or order and get a number for your table.

Originally, I thought you could only get service in the new Kre8 space.

Like a crazy person, I sat at the bar and ordered way too much food. After tasting each dish I creepily offered the rest to other guests — which of course weirded people out. Here’s a list of must orders depending on who you are.

Must order for the group: He’s Having a Beer Cheese ($11) – Wooden Robot rotating IPA, salt-crusted pretzels, flatbread crackers and a pale ale mustard.
